Matlab

UMIACS has Matlab licenses that cover Linux, Windows and Mac. To access them you have to be using a university owned computer. If you would like to run Matlab on a machine that is not University-owned, you can check the pricing through OIT/SLIC here

Linux

Below are the different locations of Matlab across our supported linux workstations and servers. The one in bold is our latest version.

• /opt/common/matlab-r2012a
• /opt/common/matlab-r2012b

Windows

Below are the different locations of Matlab available for university-owned machines running Windows XP and Windows 7. The one in bold is the latest version we have available:

• Matlab r2007a
• Matlab r2007b

OSX

Below are the different locations of Matlab available for university-owned machines running OSX. We expect that all versions should run on OSX 10.4 and newer. The one in bold is the latest version we have available:

• Matlab r2008a
• Matlab r2008b
• Matlab r2009b
• Matlab r2010a
• Matlab r2010b
• Matlab r2011b
• Matlab r2012a

License Troubleshooting

On Windows workstations

On Unix machines, the necessary command is as follows. Please note that you may need to adjust the path to reflect the available Matlab versions and the installation path:

$MATLAB_PATH/bin/glnxa64/lmutil lmstat -c $MATLAB_PATH/licenses/network.lic -f $TOOLBOX_SHORTNAME

As an example, here is how to query Matlab r2010b on our RHEL5 hosts for the Parallel Computing Toolbox:

/opt/matlab-r2010b/bin/glnxa64/lmutil lmstat -c /opt/matlab-r2010b/licenses/network.lic -f Distrib_Computing_Toolbox

The toolbox names themselves don't always work with this command; Rather, Matlab has a set of shortnames which can be passed to the lmstat command. The following are all the valid shortnames:

Aerospace_Blockset   
Aerospace_Toolbox  
Bioinformatics_Toolbox  
Communication_Blocks  
Communication_Toolbox  
Compiler  
Control_Toolbox  
Curve_Fitting_Toolbox  
Data_Acq_Toolbox  
Database_Toolbox  
Datafeed_Toolbox  
Distrib_Computing_Toolbox  
Econometrics_Toolbox  
Excel_Link  
Fin_Derivatives_Toolbox  
Financial_Toolbox  
Fixed_Income_Toolbox  
Fixed_Point_Toolbox  
GADS_Toolbox  
Identification_Toolbox  
Image_Acquisition_Toolbox

MATLAB  
MATLAB_Builder_for_Java  
MATLAB_Coder  
MATLAB_Excel_Builder  
MATLAB_Report_Gen  
MPC_Toolbox  
Neural_Network_Toolbox  
Optimization_Toolbox  
PDE_Toolbox  
Real-Time_Workshop  
Robust_Toolbox  
Signal_Blocks  
Signal_Toolbox  
SimMechanics  
Simscape  
SIMULINK  
Simulink_Control_Design  
Stateflow  
Stateflow_Coder  
Statistics_Toolbox

If you are having problems, feel free to contact UMIACS Staff, however please note that the Matlab license servers are hosted by campus' Division of Information Technology.
